When fall creeps into my fingers

As soon as fall arrives, I get cold — nose, hands, feet, even indoors. It started when I lost weight on the Wahls protocol, and even carnivore today, it's still there. Here are my everyday cold tricks, no cold showers, no losing my mind.

When the cold comes back (again)

I don’t know about you, but as soon as fall arrives, I start feeling cold again.And not just outside. My nose is cold, my hands are cold, my feet are frozen… even indoors.Sometimes I just make a cup of hot water (yep, plain water) and press it to my nose.It feels like it melts the chill.

I could laugh about it, but honestly, it gets annoying.So I try to find simple ways to stay warm. Nothing scientific — just real life stuff.

My weight changed, and so did my body

For a long time, I carried more weight — up to 180 lbs, and I was 209 lbs when I gave birth to my first. (I’m 5’1’’.)

Today I’m around 115 lbs (about 52 kg), and I feel good at this weight.Sure, I’ve got a bit of a belly (I’m 57, let’s be honest lol), but it’s nothing like before.

I started feeling colder when I lost weight while doing the Wahls Protocol.Even now that I eat carnivore (not religiously, just mostly), I still feel the cold a lot.

What actually helps me (without going nuts)

• A cup of hot water (or herbal tea), several times a day. That alone helps.

• My hot bath in the evening, with Epsom salts. Non-negotiable.

• Moving a bit. If I sit too long, my feet turn into little ice blocks.

• Good socks. Real ones. Wool. Not cute — warm.

• Listening to a meditation or just relaxing while the water heats up.

• Going outside without a coat for 5–10 minutes when it’s cool (not freezing). I’m from Quebec — I can handle it. 😄

And the infamous cold shower?

They say ending your shower cold activates brown fat.

Honestly? I hate it.

My legs start shaking if it’s too cold. So no, I don’t rinse off with freezing water.I’m not a Nordic warrior. 😅

Sometimes I lower the temperature a bit at the end, just so I don’t come out too limp.And even then — not every day.

What about you?

Got any real cold-fighting tricks that work?

Tell me in the comments or message me on social media.I’ll do a little post soon with your ideas (and tag you if you want).We all freeze a little differently — so let’s share what works! 💐
